Seventh Graders Practice Vocabulary by Presenting to Peers

Practicing their newly acquired vocabulary, seventh grade students in Spanish 1 stood up in front of their classmates yesterday and described the clothes they were wearing and how much the items cost. “This part of the curriculum focuses on llevar, to wear, and cuanto cuesta, how much,” explains teacher Julieta Zuniga. “Students are not only learning how to name items of clothing, but also how to describe the colors of the items and making sure the color agrees with the noun in both gender (masculine or feminine) and with definite and indefinite articles (singular or plural). Spanish is fun, and the students learn a lot through not only reading the Spanish language but also through speaking and presenting to each other.” MORE PHOTOS
